Halo Delivery: Pioneering Innovation in Malaysia’s On-Demand Delivery Industry
In the fast-evolving landscape of on-demand delivery, Halo Delivery has emerged as a transformative force, combining digital innovation with community empowerment to redefine convenience and accessibility. Established in July 2018, this visionary enterprise has grown from its humble beginnings in Batu Pahat, Johor, into a recognized leader in Malaysia’s digital economy, with aspirations to make a mark across ASEAN.
A Mission Rooted in Purpose
Halo Delivery’s mission is clear: to transform on-demand delivery services in suburban and underserved markets by leveraging digital innovation and entrepreneurship. With over 1.5 million app downloads, the company empowers local entrepreneurs and communities to thrive by addressing critical challenges in logistics and connectivity. Its vision—establishing a presence in ASEAN countries, creating one million jobs, and achieving 50 million app downloads—underscores its ambitious trajectory.
A Groundbreaking Journey
Starting in underserved markets where delivery options were limited, Halo Delivery tackled inefficiencies head-on. By implementing a gig economy model, the company not only addressed delivery needs but also created opportunities for entrepreneurship through its area distributor program. This initiative empowers local leaders to recruit riders, onboard merchants, and execute targeted marketing campaigns, fostering grassroots growth.
Halo Delivery’s pivotal partnership with Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation’s (MDEC) e-Rezeki program in 2020 marked a turning point. This collaboration expanded the company’s reach and helped establish its reputation for innovation and inclusivity. The company’s Malaysia Digital (MD) Status further solidified its leadership in the digital space.
Recognition for Excellence
Being named an E50 Top 10 Award Winner is a milestone that reflects Halo Delivery’s unwavering commitment to innovation and community development. The accolade is a testament to the company’s ability to deliver results while contributing to Malaysia’s economic progress. “This recognition isn’t just for us; it’s for the communities and stakeholders who believe in our vision,” says the Halo Delivery leadership team.
What Sets Halo Delivery Apart
Halo Delivery operates on the foundation of its “3C” concept: Customer-focus, Continuous Innovation, and Community Engagement. Personalized customer service, cutting-edge technology, and empowering local entrepreneurs are the pillars of its success. The company’s commitment to inclusivity is evident through initiatives such as partnerships with local MSMEs and the employment of individuals with disabilities (OKU).
Impact Beyond Business
Halo Delivery’s community-focused approach extends to its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives. From providing motorcycles and job opportunities to asnaf communities in partnership with Majlis Ugama Islam dan Adat Resam Melayu Pahang (MUIP) to collaborating with PERKESO for financial security of gig workers, the company strives to uplift marginalized groups. The launch of the “Halo Infaq” service, enabling customers to support small merchants, further illustrates Halo Delivery’s dedication to social impact.
Resilience Amid Challenges
The journey hasn’t been without obstacles. In its early days, Halo Delivery faced the challenge of building a user base in suburban areas. Grassroots marketing and strategic collaborations helped the company overcome this hurdle. Support from programs like the Malaysia Digital X-Port Grant enabled its expansion into the Klang Valley, other cities, and Indonesia, turning challenges into stepping stones for growth.
The Road Ahead
With ambitious plans for the next five years, Halo Delivery is charting a path toward becoming ASEAN’s leading on-demand service platform. The company is set to introduce advanced logistics solutions, improve delivery efficiency, and diversify its service offerings. Leveraging strategic partnerships with SMECorp, MDEC, and Matrade, Halo Delivery is poised to achieve its vision of creating one million jobs and expanding its digital footprint across ASEAN.
A Message of Gratitude
Halo Delivery credits its success to the collective efforts of its team, stakeholders, and the communities it serves. “To our customers, area distributors, riders, and merchants—thank you for being the backbone of our journey. To our stakeholders, your trust inspires us to aim higher,” says the leadership team.
From its origins in Johor to its current status as a trailblazer in digital innovation, Halo Delivery stands as a testament to the power of purpose-driven entrepreneurship. As the company looks to the future, its commitment to inclusivity, innovation, and community empowerment will undoubtedly leave a lasting legacy.
